Jet It obviously needs better pilots.
Do they look for the most incompetent people they can find to hire.
That may be...but in fairness the Honda Jet is reportedly sporty in crosswinds.

The best light jet, just as the best piston aircraft, is the one I’m privileged to fly. Therefore, there is no “best light jet.” Or piston twin, for that matter. Currently, the best piston single is the Piper Archer. Anyone is welcome to change my mind, per my definition above!

Twice as nice at half the price!
(Ok, not exactly, but the actual numbers didn't rhyme).

Hour 10 with headwinds. We flew from KSAw to KoJC to KSDL and then KTEX next day. 2000 lbs fuel. Vs 2700

Mark, be honest. :-) We can check your figures. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/FFL ... /KSDL/KTEXhttps://flightaware.com/live/flight/FFL ... /KTEX/KSDLLooks like 1:23 and 1:22 flight times. As long as we are bragging, flight planner says 1:00, 1480 lbs fuel for my V from KTEX to KSDL with a 5 knot tailwind. Was the stop in KABQ for fuel? I wouldn't need one on a KOJC to KSDL leg. I'd save about 90 minutes total. As long as we are bragging... :-) Mike C.
